When we watch sports on television, we are admired at how the athletes perform during a game or how they were able to attain such fascinating skills. The famous Michael Jordan was able to jump really high, but he started as a little boy who loved to play basketball. In fact, every person could reach the same level as he did with sheer determination and training, but everyone has their motives for doing so. However, why would anyone who plays sports want to improve their skills? There are many…

develop my analytical and strategic thinking skills. While Dr. Brown uses poker game as an example to clarify how a game can count as play – it depends on the meaning of the game to the player. For me, playing basketball is a play, because my goal is not just to shoot the ball into the basket, but also to enjoy the relief of running around and shoot, to work with other team players and to draw up a strategic plan to win a…

and picked it out of the air and brought the ball along with my body to the ground. As I was getting up off the ground I heard the ear piercing sound of the final whistle. Everyone on the field, along with myself, stomachs sank because they knew the game was headed for a PK shootout. But for me it was different. This was my dream. This was all I dreamt about for 8 years of my life. This is my moment. The moment I get a chance to be the hero of my team. The moment I get to show everyone, all the…

heart was pumping just a little faster than normal. “We got this,” stated Austin with a strong loud voice. “Key words to winning this game, said Coach, get running, play as a team, and be loud. Still waiting to access the court we were all like wild animals. As we ran onto the court and started with lay ups, then we get into 3 on 2. “Bleep” the horn rang, “It’s game time and I’m warm because I’m already sweating!” The ball is tipped and we have it Trey goes up the court passes to Austin and he…

Kankakee Valley High School athletics has given me so many opportunities I never even thought I would be able to experience. I had the privilege of being a member of the KV Varsity Softball team all four years of my high school career. I have been playing softball since I was eight years old and since then I have played all over the country from California to Virginia. Though none of that can compare to playing in ‘The Region’ and for the purpose of representing my community. Without KV…

Elite Eight One year ago in the Elite Eight game, the atmosphere was ineffable, it felt like the whole panhandle was in the Eagles Stadium. The atmosphere is nonsensical, two minutes into the first quarter, I receive the ball on second down and make a good deranged play then fall. Four of Tate's Football players fall on my ankle and I roll it. Halftime comes, the trainers rush me to the weight room and tape my ankles up like a box getting shipped off or Christmas gifts getting all boxed up.…
